Centre axle trailers

Agile and easy to manoeuvre

Our centre axle trailers are – depending on their fittings – suitable for transporting 1202 diesel/heating oil or 1203 gasoline. They are characterised by their great agility and easy manoeuvrability. These properties are ideally supported by the perfect chassis, tank and towing vehicle design.

Technical data

Tank

In order to ensure that the trailer can be driven smoothly and is perfectly designed to suit the maximum permissible weight, we match the tank sizes to the intended use of the vehicle.

The gross volume is between 16,500 and 20,000 l, depending on the cargo.

Fittings

The controls and dry coupling for the connecting hose are placed in the box on the front right of the vehicle as standard. They can also be mounted in the discharging cabinet.

Our tank trailers are equipped with two side safety installations as well as Tank and underride protection with rear covers.

Loading / Discharging

Drawbar

The centre axle trailer features a rigid heavy duty drawbar with a support load of 1,000 kg.

Only drawbars with a special KTL coating are affixed to our tank trailers. This surface finish offers five times higher corrosion protection than a conventional finish.

Support device

We offer two options for the parking of the centre axle trailer when loaded:

  • two support equipment with handle crank
  • two support equipment with pneumo-hydraulic drive

Brakes / Air suspension

Braking comfort improved with integrated EBS/ABS brake system and RSS function. Vehicle safety can be increased through selective braking in the case of risk of tipping.

  • The EBS function accelerates reaction and pressure build-up times in the brake cylinders. This reduces the stopping distance by a few metres.
  • Driving stability is assured by the ABS function during the braking process.
  • The RSS function uses selective braking to prevent the tanker from tipping, jack-knifing or skidding.
  • The centre axle trailer air suspension can be managed mechanically via an air suspension valve or electronically via an ECAS control box.

Safety

The centre axle trailer can be fitted with additional safety and technical features:
